This Nor'Easter is going to kill the whole northeast Sunday. Near Blizzard conditions with high snowfall rates and high winds. Green and White Mtns could see upwards of 3 feet in places.

theres no way the green means 1-1.5 inches an hour...especially snowing in the east. the orange may be 1 inch, then red 1.5 and over. but theres no way the green is that much. that would mean the red is like 2.5 inches an hour.

I don't know about that radar, but the Wunderground.com radar system, orange is generally 1-2 inches/hour, so it isn't unreasonable for green to be .5-1 inches/hour. Red is usually 3+ inches per hour, and I've very rarely seen that on the Buffalo radar during very heavy lake effect events.

i have a question for all of you. Im debating whether to hit urban sat, sun, and some of monday but the tproblem is that sunday it may be too snowy to drive around. my other option is to hit urban saturday then go up to burlington so i can ski jay sunday then go home on monday.  Do you think ill be able to drive home from burlington to rochester, ny on monday? sounds like northern vt may be buried by 3 feet of snow by that time....idk if roads will be open. But 1 epic pow day at jay sounds tempting.....shit. I could just hike shit  here and build stuff on monday.

Ski Jay Sunday and Monday? Haha.

I'm likely hiking an old abandoned ski area here in Western New York. It's got some sick glades and some steeper runs.

Wooo...

So it's officially a Winter Storm Warning now. Just issued by the NWS of Buffalo, NY. Here is the forecast for Western New York.

"SNOWFALL WILL BEGIN SATURDAY EVENING OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN CORNER OF NEW YORK AND SPREAD RAPIDLY NORTHEAST ACROSS THE REST OF THE REGION OVERNIGHT. BY SUNDAY MORNING 3 TO 6 INCHES OF SNOW IS LIKELY ACROSS THE REGION.

DURING SUNDAY SNOW WILL CONTINUE AND BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES. BY SUNDAY NIGHT TOTAL SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS FOR MOST FOR THE AREA COULD RANGE BETWEEN 16 AND 20 INCHES."

There is a slight chance of a period of sleet here though which would hold snow accumulations down to 8-14 inches if that occurs.

if anyones around amsterdam area im thinking about getting some people to take snowmobiles up my grandparent's mountain.  There's a road to a hunting camp way up , but as i remember it was decently steep going up.  With close to 2 more feet on top of the other foot we just got  it might be worth it to go up and build a kicker and find some glades.
